LEX-SV Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 An IS sounds like a great way to enhance life with fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13IS250C Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 As we say in the south.....Yee Haw!! Speaking of the south. You know what 4 words are spoken before most redneck accidents? "Hey Bubba, watch this" Or this, "Hold my beer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I like that one^. Followed by, "I see dead people". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Another "plus" feature in Lexus that is common to premium cars is the one-touch open and one-touch close moonroof. Some regular cars/SUVs (some Toyotas and Mazdas for example) don't have one-touch closure feature, you have to hold the button until roof is completely shut.

VBdenny Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I don't think I have ever opened a sunroof on any car I have owned. Without the dark tint, I would keep the cover closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I enjoy using moonroof on mild days (in the low-mid 70's) on mountain road drives, very much a semi-convertible experience. I've owned 5 rag tops and finding that a nice big moonroof works very well in bringing in the outdoors on a nice day. I will not own a sport sedan/coupe without.

LEX-SV Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 A standard subwoofer is common on most premium cars including Lexus IS, I enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Well I have used the subwoofer. Very nice system you can really crank. Come spring, maybe I'll have to try the sunroof. After the Miata, I decided I don't like the sun on me that much. I did drive around with the top down last winter. 25 degrees and I'm bundled up cruising. Got some curious looks from onlookers. Of course then some big guy and his girl came by dressing in Santa clothing on a Harley and upstaged me. Raining like a bad dog ad 70 degrees here in Virginia Beach. Merry Christmas I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Premium cars including Lexus have nicely finished trunks. All seem to have trunk hinges designed to not scratch fine leather luggage, although I'm not sure I've actually benefited from that thoughtful detail...

VBdenny Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Ha, loved the trunk luggage thing. Without going into detail, I spent a LOT runs to airports. The IS has the clear trunk protectors which would have prevented the scratches from luggage on the ES330. As far as a Lexus trunk scratching luggage, not to worry Steve, the airlines have you covered. Can't tell you how much luggage we have replaced.

LEX-SV Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I buy tough luggage, although airlines have damaged a couple of mine too. Here's pic of the retractable trunk sill protector on the Benz, very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey Steve, that is a very nice looking trunk protector. Can it be left out for parking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey Steve, that is a very nice looking trunk protector. Can it be left out for parking? Only if the trunk is left open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I've seen some in NYC and DC that stay out all the time. Not very pretty but better than nothing I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEX-SV Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 NYC drivers also have the (ugly) big fat rubberized front plate frame thiing to protect front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 My wife, being from New York City, had these huge bumper guard things on the front and back of her car. Made her 69 Barracuda look terrible. I had fixed several dents and was ready to paint and remove the bumper things. Of course by then the car was stolen so never got around to the task. Nice car, missed that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
